Chapter 6-037: The Crown That Fell from the Sky
If one day, as soon as you get up, a bunch of people suddenly find you and invite you to go to them to be the emperor, oh well, it's the crown prince. What will you think?
Generally speaking, I'm afraid that the first reaction of the vast majority of people is "not to be happy or anything", but to nurse and nurse......
Su Xue is the same, he is now a nursery.
Lao Tzu just got up today, and I haven't brushed my teeth yet, so you came to ask me to be the crown prince, what the hell is this?
He was invited by this sudden arrival, and he was scorched on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Damn, what the hell are these guys in Urban thinking? You actually want me to be the crown prince?" Su Ze felt very crying and laughing.
This kind of thing like Su Ze encountered, in fact, is not uncommon, and it is not uncommon for him to invite foreigners to be his monarch like this, and it is not an uncommon thing in the history of the earth. Although this behavior is simply inexplicable in the eyes of the Easterners, it is quite normal in Europe.
Because of the close ties and extensive marriages in European countries, it is often the case that the royal families are related by blood", so it is not uncommon to see a king, duke, or prince who owns several countries or territories by one person. In addition, Europeans' understanding of "orthodoxy" is "completely different from that of Orientals", so it is normal for this to happen.
For example, in 17 A.D., after the death of Queen Anna of England, because there was no heir, the British Parliament invited Anna's cousin, George Ludwig von Hanover, son of the Elector of Hanover in Germany, to the British throne, known as George I. In addition, "the British had asked William, the consul of the Netherlands, to be their king.
and Napoleon's subordinate and rival "was invited by the Swedes to be king." The king of Poland even elected a lot of kings of foreign nationality, and when the Balkan countries became independent from the Ottomans, they also found a foreigner to be kings, and this kind of thing is simply too many......
However, "in this case in Europe, those foreigners who were invited to be kings" are still somewhat related to the original royal family.
However, what is happening in Urban now is not at all like that. None of Urban's successive emperors were normal, all of them were undead. Of course, the undead will not have any blood descendants, and it is naturally impossible for them to inherit the throne according to any "blood inheritance law".
Urban inherited the throne as a relatively rare "Dao Inheritance Law", not a "Blood Succession Law". Some are similar to the ancient "Zen Rang" of China, but of course there are many differences.
The criteria for their crown prince candidates are also simple, just two. First of all, he must be a disciple of the Emperor, and secondly, he must be a legendary arcanist. As for whether the candidate is a native or not, or even whether he is a human or not", it doesn't matter.
This generation of Emperor Nice III, that is, Empress Ness, has not included formal disciples abroad, and there is only one person who can officially be taught by her.
Although Su Xue is not yet an official disciple of Niss, he can only be regarded as an "auditor", but in the absence of other formal disciples, he can only retreat and choose from this kind of "auditor".
But what makes Urban depressed is that even if he is an "auditor", he is the only one who is Su Ze.
So, now it has become such a very situation, and Su Ze has become the sole heir to the throne of the Urban Empire in such a grand manner, at least for now.
.................................................................................... , half a month later, the Urban Empire, the City of Shadows.
After careful consideration, Su Xue decided to go to Urban to have a look, and under the arrangements of all parties, "He arrived at the Shadow City, the capital of the Urban Empire, yesterday afternoon.
The City of Shadows is the capital of the Urban Empire, located on a hill in the middle of the Urban Valley.
The Urban Valley was the core and richest part of the empire, "less than a tenth of the total land area of the empire, but most of the cultivable land of the empire was concentrated in this area." Along the main road "you can see the magic greenhouses lined up everywhere, mainly used to grow various cash crops. At the same time, a large number of barracks are also distributed in this area, "many of which are semi-underground or fully underground, and most of these barracks are inhabited by undead armies." Moreover, the density of mage towers here is also the highest in the world. These towers, evenly distributed throughout the valley, serve as mages' residences and research rooms, as well as part of the mystery's system of locks that envelop the valley.
In addition to adjusting the land and climate, the main role of this huge locking is to neutralize the negative energy storm that penetrates from the negative energy plane. Like the Lost Locks in many other places, it blocks outside detection spells and teleportation spells, and suppresses unlicensed casters from casting spells.
The history of the City of Shadows and its longevity "is longer than the history of the Empire." It was originally an ancient fortress dating back thousands of years before the barbarians set foot on the land, and was initially intuitively thought to be a relic of an ancient dwarven kingdom. However, its architecture and decoration style are very different from those of any known dwarven tribe, and the internal passages of the houses are also set up for human-like creatures rather than dwarves.
And most of this ancient fortress is in the heart of a hilly mountain, and there are countless deep passages, many of which have not yet been discovered. These underground passages are said to "spread throughout the continent of Urban, connecting to more undiscovered ancient fortresses." Many dark creatures dwell in the darkness deep within these fortresses, and most of the Empire's undead legions are stationed in and around these fortresses that provide shade from the sun.
Of course, the capital that is really in use now, or built later, is on the ground of this ancient fortress. The city is also very large, and its top view appears to be made up of two octagonal shapes overlapping each other, like the shape of some medals: "It covers an area of at least 100 square kilometres." Although it cannot be compared with the capital of the Han Empire, the scale of the capitals of many countries is not comparable to it.
The buildings of the whole city are dominated by dark colors such as black, dark gray, and silver gray, which look very gloomy. And the architectural style "looks very close to the mausoleum, so the whole city feels very eerie."
The imperial palace of the Empire, the Vestas Palace, was located right in the center of the city. The architectural style is somewhat similar to that of an Egyptian temple, but it is much larger and more towering.
At this moment, Su Zhi was sitting in this palace that looked like a mausoleum. ..........................................................................................
The person here is not Su Xuan, more than a dozen high-ranking officials in Urban are chatting with him next to him.
The "Minister of Finance and Home Affairs" Zachariya, the "Minister of Foreign Affairs and Religion" Chivers, and the "Minister of Arcane and Aliens" Rab, these three are the Central Ministers. The "Governor of Tamir Province" Madeus, the "Governor of Pine Forest" Ballentain, and the "Governor of Slevo Province" Shopnos were the local governors.
In addition, there are four generals of the army under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor, four leaders of the state arcane mages, and the pope of the Church of the God of Urban. and envoys and ambassadors to the country of the Han Empire.
Pope Callaghan asked solemnly, "Your Highness Su Ze, please confirm that you are willing to accept the title of crown prince of the Urban Empire?"
"Yes, I do" Su Xue nodded and said firmly.
"Okay, then please prepare" The coronation will be held tomorrow, "Pope Callaghan is a living man, but he also looks like a dead man. At this moment, seeing Su Ze's promise back then, he showed a smile.
With that, he took his leave and prepared for tomorrow's ceremony.
Seeing that Su Ze agreed, the others present also breathed a sigh of relief. For Urban's magnates, "the state apparatus can function even if the emperor is not abandoned." But it's not a good thing that the dragons have no leader, such a big country must have a boss.
And the envoys of the Han Empire were also very happy. For them, Su Xue was a high-ranking nobleman of the empire, but now he became the crown prince of another country, which was a good thing for the Han Dynasty anyway.
Although at the beginning, Su Xue was thundered by the crown that fell today, but after careful consideration, he still decided to accept this title.
No way, there's so much to be involved in this matter. Although Su Xue can resign, but in this way, I am afraid that the problem will be more serious, and his reputation will be greatly affected.
First of all, something happened to the teacher, and the disciple can't ignore it" This country is Teacher Niss's, and now it is in a state of leaderlessness, if you don't come forward, you really can't say it.
Secondly, there is also pressure from the Huaxia God Department and the Han Empire, and the bigwigs of the God Department and the Empire are extremely interested in letting someone from their side take over the matter of the Crown Prince of Urban. The purpose of this is naturally understood by even a fool.
If Su Ze resigned, even if Urban wouldn't say anything, the bigwigs of the Huaxia God Department and the Han Empire would be greatly disappointed in him, "If you offend these bigwigs, will Su Ze still be mixed up in the future?"
Again, it is Su Ze's own reason, Su Ze is in great need of strength now, if he takes over as the crown prince of Urban, then at least a large part of the power of this empire can be used by Su Ze. This is very important for Su Ze, who has a shallow foundation.
Su Ze's biggest goal is to achieve immortality, and he is not very interested in the position of emperor, but that just means that he will not go to Huā thoughts, if someone else sends it to the door, then he will not be hypocritical.
At this time, the "Minister of Finance and Home Affairs" Zachariyah said: "Your Highness, you need to get to know this country well now, so that you can ask all the people involved if you have any doubts in your future administration. ”
This is, as soon as he clapped his hands, a beautiful silver-haired woman came out and saluted Su Xue.
"Sasha to His Highness—"
Zachariya introduced: "This is Sasha, Your Majesty's Secretary, who will be in charge of your daily life and also serve as your advisor......
